I did the juice feast and have lost a bunch of weight. I'm transitioning into a keto diet now, because keto diets are known for increased GABA, which is apparently screwed in my head.
One of the things I miss are the sensations you feel when the seasons change, you walk into a crowded bar, morning sunrise while working out etc. I miss that so much. I'm still emotionally numb, though I feel like I might be improving slightly.
It's been about 5 weeks since I've quit dutasteride, and the half life is 5 weeks. it takes 6 months for this to get out of my system completely, but i really hope i can get my emotions and senses back sooner. i use my senses a lot, probably more than most people, and it's been driving me nuts lol. but either way i'm dealing with this right now so i guess it will happen when it happens.
i have been doing the wim hof breathing 3-4 rounds occasionally, but will do them every single day from now on.
EDIT:
also guys. regarding the half life. am i going to crash again when dutasteride is out of my system in 6 months? I see people crash after discontinuing.
I started getting all the emotional numbness, brain fog, no sensations side effects as time progressed with my use of dutasteride, but my test levels are still really high. how do i prevent a crash lol. it would really suck to go through something worse in 6 months
